how we work


our philosophy is pretty no fuss - we want to provide you with beautiful, unadulterated coffee that tastes so good you won't need to add syrup or sugar. we also want to share the process with you.






our 3 group synesso espresso machine was custom built by hand in seattle by people who really know what they're doing and we are proud to give it a home here. with a synesso, there is no such thing as a programmed, automatic shot. watch your barista closely! they will control pre-infusion, temperature and length of extraction to make sure the espresso in your drink tastes the way it should.


we take care with every step of the process. we can often be found bent over the grinders well into the day muttering under our breath as we debate the benefits of a low or high dose. observe the barista in its natural habitat! if you see your shot being poured down the drain, this is actually a good thing. it means a better one is on its way.






please watch and talk to us as we make your drinks - we'll take any chance we can get to talk to you about coffee (or anything else we love)
